Port watching tool

Hello,

I have just a simple question... I have been searching aroud the net for software to watch the ports on a Win2K machine but am not turning anything up that would be useful to me, so I thought I would ask here...

Could someone point me to a tool that will or can do the following:

A: monitor ports on a Win2K server
B: specifically monitor a certain port or range of ports
C: send email or some other alert when the number of open connections on that port passes a certain threshold.

Basically I am trying to find something that will run on one of our Win2K servers and monitor the open connections on a couple ports, and notify us if there are too many connections on that port, and it would be even better to be able to have it notify if there are too many concurrent connections from a single IP..

Anyone know of something that will do this and run in the background?
